It appears the downtube bar can be equipped with locks. Is this the case? If so, are the locks included?

No there were no locks included. We returned this rack because it didn't seem too stable and were affraid the bike would fall on long car rides. Hope this is helpful.

You have to purchase a lock separately. It has a place for a lock that connects to the red screw handle to keep it from turning - but not just any lock. It is a specific accessory you have to purchase. But, you can also use a standard bike lock to lock your bike to the rack. As far as locking the rack to your car, this rack does not support that at all. You'd have to come up with your own solution.

Yes, there is a key. Each bar basically has three parts. One is the bar itself, then for each side there is the 2nd half of the 'clamp'. There's a piece attached to a screw that is turned to tighten, then you finally latch to secure it. It's locked with the key. It's pretty easy to put on/take off, can be done in 5 minutes.

It comes with a housing for the lock on the cable-type lock, but you must buy the SKS (same key system) lock separately. The wing-nut that's used to tighten the mounting bolt on the rear bar can be replaced with an SKS lock housing and lock, and once installed and locked, the rack can't be removed from the bars--a wise investment since the cable lock could be cut fairly easily with wire-cutters. I'd recommend a good chain or U-lock for the bike, as well, for the same reason.

Yes... It just detaches from the hardware attached to the handlebars. Just use one of the bike cable locks if you are concerned.Butch

It does not come with a padlock. You have to buy the padlock separately. Read the instructions before you buy one because it has to fit through the opening at the top of the bar.

No lock. The ones I found online that did have a lock had repeated reviews of the locks not working.

I don't know how that could happen with the type of locks it has. You may have to put a cable with a lock on it through the bars.

There is no locking cable that comes with the unit. It does come with two lag screws to be able to attach it to something solid, if you desire.

I'm not sure, but maybe it's not. Because, Fizzini has speciall 4 hooks. so it's not usual way to lock.So, I don't think so.

There isn't a locking mechanism with the rack. It's easy to use the usual bike cable lock looped through a bracket at the hitch, when leaving unattended. That's a secure fix for me.

There are locks but the cables are really flimsy. I had a mountain bike stolen off the rack last year in broad daylight in a busy tourist area. They cut clean through the cable. Security is definitely an issue with this rack.

Yes the bars lock into place well when installed correctly. I recommend checking for looseness every once in awhile. I use a yakima bike rack on the bars and it holds just fine. Best.

No stabilizing bar came with ours. It is a quality product and the company stands behind it with a lifetime guarantee.

I measured the inside of the hook at 2 1/8" so if your downtube is 2" or less you should be fine. For example it does not fit on my full suspension mt bike. Hope this helps you!

Nope, there are no locks on any of them. I use it on tile though and never have an issue with it moving around, for what it's worth
